AN IVANHOE & FRITZ SET A RECORD

Ivanhoe B49jAx64p v Fritz 13


I should have never wasted my time with this. I had seen this engine in a couple of lists, and it was in a file with around 100 or 150 other Ivanhoes someone had sent me a while back and I had never opened. Someone posted some results with it on Immortal so I loaded it. Hell, it's gotta be about 4 years old.

Thing is, I used the 64bit, but Fritz 13 was always thinking as deep or deeper in plies and Fritz always ran 800 to 1500 kN/s faster. I looked back in my records for anything close to this, and the first official release, Vitruvius 1.0, interestingly had beaten this same Fritz 13 in just wins/losses 26 - 3. Man, Fritz has suffered some beatings at this Electronic Chess Emporium. It is like watching your favorite old grandmaster just stay around too long. If you care about Fritz, stop here and don't look further.

Same thing with Junior 13: Critter 1.4a is +19 over Junior 13 x64 after 62 rounds in my 10' + 10" testing. I thought it would be closer.

Brent, once Fritz was my favorite engine. When Rybka got good and was on top, Vas told me that, I believe it was Fritz 9 at the time, Fritz was the hardest engine to play. It had a style that Rybka had trouble with. Of course it never beat Rybka- but at times gave him fits. Vitruvius 1.0, our first official release, beat Fritz 13: 26- 3. (I don't mention draws when I tell anyone a score) It has been a long drop for an engine I really used to love.

Let me take this chance to tell you I linked onto your site- and I am extremely impressed. It is just flat out beautiful the way you have everything set up. And it was a GREAT idea on your part to have the latest match crosstable right in front of people when they log on. I hope you don't mind me telling you I am jealous- I can't help it.

I like things to be right and I apologize they weren't. Where I have Bases=NONE, I forgot to add that Fritz 13 was using 3 and 4 man Nalimovs.

Fritz 13 is 32bits,

Not change much but would defend against 32-bit better.
greetings.

Thanks for the nice words, George. I like what I do, and I guess it shows.
